This article, ‘Exploring narrative, convictions and autoethnography as a convict criminologist’ is free to download. It sets out much of the way I think about the potentials of convict criminology. Happy to guest lecture on it if interested. oro.open.ac.uk/75897/1/TCC%2…

The Oxford Handbook of Criminology was the first book I bought as I started a Masters at Middlesex in 1995. It came out in 1994 and was a snip in the remainder bin. I’m so chuffed to be in this with colleagues from British Convict Criminology. Best yet?1/2 global.oup.com/ukhe/product/…

Received letter from an OU student in prison telling me how staff refused to send his dissertation in. The OU agreed to accept it late. Months later a Masters graduation certificate pushed under his cell door. His lament of a “lack of ceremony” an understatement. 1/2
